Summary "The Good Time Coming" by T. S. Arthur is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around Edward Markland, a man who, after years of diligent work and the realization of his dreams of wealth and a peaceful home, finds himself unexpectedly discontented and yearning for something beyond his idyllic life at Woodbine Lodge. The narrative explores themes of ambition, happiness, and the pursuit of true fulfillment against the backdrop of societal expectations and personal choices. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Edward Markland as he reflects on his life, accompanied by his gentle wife, Agnes. While surrounded by the beauty of his home and the love of his family, Edward grapples with a sense of unrest and dissatisfaction that he cannot shake off. As Agnes tends to the needs of others, including a sick neighbor, Edward’s thoughts drift toward dreams not yet realized. The opening chapters set the stage for conflicts that arise from Edward’s interactions with new acquaintances, particularly a visitor named Mr. Lyon, who introduces an ambitious new direction that threatens to disrupt the harmony of his family life. This initial portion intricately establishes the struggle between worldly success and the deeper search for lasting happiness in both Edward and Agnes’s lives.
